"Figliuole e frittelle, quante più se ne fa, più vengon belle.” – Children and fried food: the more you make, the better they come out. There’s something about that sizzle, that enticing aroma, that ouch that hurts so good as your fingers wrap around a freshly fried (insert your choice) still dripping with oil. Crunch – ahhh! – such satisfaction, healthy or not, to indulge in something finger-licking fried.
Fried foods are beloved throughout the world. Italy, however, honors her vast fried offerings with an elevated status – a food not only sinfully delectable but fundamentally tied to tradition and regionality. It’s not surprising, in this beautiful country where every bite tells a story and every meal is next to sacred.
